It is still optional, just enabled by default :-) All the people with non-ASCII charsets will have less work, only that we switch the load from, say, 75% of the users fixing their environment to 25% of users having to switch. And who doesn't want UTF-8? Just being able to see a Japanese Website as it was intended (even if I can't read it) is a nice feature. So - apart from some users maybe not wanting it, any technical reasons against? =20 > I'd be the first to be interested in having it enabled by default, tho.
